Create a beautiful and lightweight accessory unique to your own style and taste, while learning the art of nuno-felting. This class is for adults, ages 18 and up.
Felting is fun, but can be repetitive and labor intensive. Please be prepared to stand for significant portions of class time. Special felting tools will be available, and alternate rolling techniques can be used if standing is a challenge. Wet felting is wet and soapy, and hand dyed fiber can sometimes bleed dye. Please wear appropriate clothing, or a waterproof apron, and be prepared to have some “good clean fun.”
Students are asked to bring are 3-4 old bath towels and a plastic bag to bring wet towels and project home. All other supplies will be provided.
Lunch is not supplied. Please feel free to bring a snack or a bagged lunch.
